Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an information display system used in a dealing room of a securities company.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, in a conventional trading room 1 of a securities company, when a large number of sales people gather and buy and sell securities, etc., information and display are transmitted between sales people. Is performed by the telephones 3 to 8 via the telephone exchange 2. In the case of simultaneous notification, means such as broadcasting was used.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional means such as telephone and broadcasting,
Due to the voice communication, each salesperson's ears are occupied and it is difficult to obtain multiple pieces of information at the same time. Also, the information is easily lost because the information disappears easily, or the input is limited to one place. There were many operational problems.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an excellent information display system capable of inputting visually confirmable information from a plurality of dispersed points.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a large display board for displaying characters and the like, and a plurality of input workstations, and connects these with a wireless transmission network using radio waves. Priority is set for a plurality of input workstations, and the order of display on the large display board is determined according to the priority.

Operation According to the present invention, it is possible to input information from a plurality of distributed input workstations and visually display the information on a large-sized display board by the configuration as described above, thereby enabling efficient business communication. It has the effect of.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, 11 is a large display board, 12 is a display board controller connected to the large display board 11, and 1
Reference numerals 3 and 14 denote input workstations distributed for input. The controller 12 and the input workstations 13 and 14 are connected by a wireless transmission network 15, and the controller 12 has a receiving unit 16 and a transmitting unit.
The workstations 13 and 14 include transmitting units 18 and 19 and receiving units 20 and 21, respectively.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the input workstation 13. The other input workstation 14 has a similar configuration. In FIG. 2, 22 is a keyboard, 23 is an image scanner, 24 is a display, 25 is a controller,
26 is a memory in the controller 25.

In the case of an information display system used in an actual dealing room or the like, more input workstations are used.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. In the input workstation 13 shown in FIG. 2, the operator operates the keyboard 22 to display on the large display board 11 and input a sentence to be notified to all the members. This input sentence is temporarily stored in a memory 26 built in the controller 25. At the same time, this input text is displayed on the display attached to the controller 25.
Displayed at 24, the operator can check the input contents visually.

Alternatively, when the content not displayed on the large display board 11 is a handwritten character or a general figure, a photograph, or the like,
In place of the keyboard 22, reading is performed by an image scanner 23 or a digitizer (not shown), and stored in the memory 26, as in the case of the above-described sentences,
It is displayed on the display 24.

As described above, the operator inputs text or image data to be displayed to the controller 25, and then displays
Display it on 24 and check the input contents visually. As a result, if there is no error in the input contents, the operator presses a “display” key (not shown) provided on the keyboard 22.
Then, the controller 25 transmits the input data stored in the memory 26 via the transmission unit 18 by radio waves.

Various types of radio waves can be used at this time, and there is no particular limitation. For example, weak radio waves or low-power radio waves often used recently in cordless telephones are examples. Light including infrared rays or lasers may be considered as radio waves in a broad sense.

Next, in FIG. 1, as described above, the input data transmitted from the input workstation 13 or 14 is received by the receiving unit 16 attached to the display board controller 12, demodulated by the modem, and converted into digital data. It is stored in a memory (not shown) built in the controller 12.

A preferred display board controller 12 has the above-mentioned receiving memory in the controller, for example, corresponding to the number of input workstations, and can simultaneously store input data for each workstation. is there.

As described above, when there are a plurality of input workstations, signals for identification of those input workstations or for conflict control when a plurality of input workstations simultaneously transmit signals are transmitted from the transmission unit 17 on the display board controller 12 side. Input workstation 13,14
Are sent to the receiving units 20 and 21 on the side.

When the display board controller 12 receives the input data from the plurality of input workstations and stores the input data, the input data is displayed on the large display board 11 according to a certain rule. An example of the certain rule is, for example, to display for a certain period of time in accordance with the order of reception, or to assign a priority to the input workstation and determine the order of display according to the priority.

As described above, according to the embodiment, the text, images, and the like input from the plurality of workstations 13 and 14 are transmitted to the display board controller 12 by the wireless transmission network 15.
And display it on the large display board 11. Therefore, there is an advantage that no communication line is required between the display board controller 12 and the input workstations 13 and 14, construction is not required, and the equipment can be easily moved.

Further, it is easy to cope with an increase in the number of workstations, and the installation and change of the system become easy, so that a flexible and economical system can be realized.

Further, by visually displaying input data on a display board instead of voice, there is an advantage that information can be reliably transmitted to a salesperson in a dealing room whose ear is occupied by a telephone or the like. .

The present invention, as is apparent from the above embodiments, comprises a large display board for displaying visual information, a plurality of distributed input workstations, and a wireless transmission network connecting these, and a plurality of input workstations Priority is set, and the order of display on the large display board is determined according to the priority, and it is possible to input information that can be identified by eyes from a plurality of distribution points, so that Information exchange can be made more efficient. At the same time, the installation, transfer, and expansion of the system can be performed flexibly and economically by making the wireless transmission network cableless.
